Completed Projects

Skills, Knowledge, Interests

I'm a civil/environmental engineer and materials scientist by degree. Most of the things I work with are too big to hack at home. But do let me know if you need some specialized concrete. Or math help. Or CAD help.

I enjoy a number of crafts, but I'm usually more interested in the product than the process. I've done mosaic art, basic crochet, some marginal watercolor, and a whole lot of scrapbooking. I can usually draw straight lines.

I love modern architecture, especially when it's green. [2] I'm intrigued by repurposed and recycled projects.

I took a typography course in college and am fascinated by the beauty and history of letterpress printing. I want to rescue and restore an old press.

I know basic HTML & CSS. I fell off the web development wagon circa 2002, but I know enough to install Wordpress.

I sing alto in a concert choir and adore choral music.

I'm fluent in LOLcat.

Want to Learn

Knitting

Basic woodworking

I am currently learning to program, starting in Python. Advice, resources, and project suggestions are welcomed.

I'm dying to learn enough music theory to arrange music for SATB voicing.

Learning to play piano or guitar would be nice, too. I've ruled out instruments I can't sing with.
